Mala stitch - a chain stitch variation for Kantha embroidery

[@SusanMJB45]

Thank you Kathryn. Excellent instructions and the new way that you started the stitch is much better. The Mala stitch is a wonderful new stitch to add to my slow stitch repertoire.

A second bite of the cherry - I followed this more easily than on yesterday's video. My late mother would have enjoyed your tuition. Page size samplers kept in stitch journals will show progress - from beginner to perfect. Hand down through the family, and perhaps encourage younger people to dip into needle crafts. UK. E ❤

Thank you Kathryn, I found it easy to do tonight. I had more problems with the Cable Stitch as I couldn't get the French Knot in the exact place I wanted them. Practice will help.

This is really pretty. I learn new stitches so much better from you Kathryn. When I look at a book I feel like it's Egyptian hieroglyphics 😅 Thinking of you fondly and often ❤

Oh, I’m going to my studio right now to try that start. I’ve taken the row down three times and left it undone for another attempt because I didn’t care for the beginning stitch! The body of the work was so enjoyable, I agree with you! I enjoyed Mala. But that start…I was thinking if it was a closed loop how it would be so obvious to my eye the start and finish. Going to go try this right now. Before coffee!!! Added: yay! Yes!!! That’s such a better start. Thank you for working that out, Kathryn
